Book takes an enlightened look at labour

1918 — William Lyon Mackenzie King completes his book Industry and Humanity, an examination of labour within the capitalist system. In it, he urges a closer cooperation among labour, business and the community.

The book draws on his industrial relations work with the Rockefeller Foundation in the U.S., an organization that gave him the go-ahead to write it since the family was ending its industrial relations research. King was assisted by F.A. MacGregor who becomes one of his biographers 44 years later.
